Red blotches on skin

Posted , 2 users are following.

These blotches have been on my stomach for some time, they are not itchy or anything but I'm worried it could be serious or possibly a leukemia rash or type of skin cancer? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Its tinea versicolor, so stop thinking about cancer or leukemia.Its caused by a fungus and it sometimes helps to wash the area with dandruff shampoo that contains Selenium Sulphide. Work up a good lather over the area with a soft brush, leave for a few minutes, then wash off thoroughly. Do this on alternate days.
